OF THE J''ACCUSE KRYSTYNA Guzik-PALKATutto & egrave; began Tuesday & igrave; June 29, when the sportsinwinter magazine has published un''intervista the Polish biathlete, who did not mince words used to express their thoughts, zeroing in especially sull''head team coach, but also on the federation.
"The 'shoulder injury for which I was the victim & egrave; was caused by workloads exaggerated and above all too short a period of rest between the end of the season and the' beginning of the preparation. Our current coach & egrave; believes that the key to success are the sessions in the gym. Just one of these new exercises, he sees videos of Norwegian athletes, & egrave; was the cause of my injury. the muscles have not held up.
If there are problems in the team? I will only say that if three great athletes do not want more & ugrave; work with the 'coach Adam Kolodziejczyk, then c' '& egrave; something wrong. I have the 'impression that wants to follow only Monika Hojnisz, which is as if it was his daughter.
As athletes our opinion counts for nothing, we have to follow to the letter the training tables, without being able to express perplexity & agrave ;. Or rather, only un''atleta & egrave; free to do so, and his objections are always taken into account, so that his plans are continuously changed.
He told us more & ugrave; Sometimes that if things we do not like, then we can withdraw. The 'last summer also told me I was finished, I had no more & ugrave; nothing to give. Instead my last season & egrave; It was the best of my career!
This despite having lost many chances due to an error too. Analyzing the situation, I wanted to change something. I see the German biathletes change often the butt of the rifle to make improvements, so I wanted to try it myself. During the World Cup, I asked the president of the Federation (Dagmara Gerasimuk, ed) a loan to buy a new football once the season.
Initially he gave his consent, but in the spring & egrave; back on his feet, saying that my rifle okay, wait to make changes because & eacute; a new Austrian coach would come and that my workout to the shooting would have changed a lot.
I believed in his promises and I was teasing. The big changes are represented by a new shape to shoot! What's more, all the attention of the shooting coaches are directed on Dominika Bielecka, a former cross-country skier who & egrave; just past the biathlon, and to which we must also teach the basics.
Who knows & agrave; why in the team every year c '' & egrave; a problem with un''atleta. Before Agnieszka Cyl, then Paulina Bobak, then Magdalena Gwizdon, the 'Last year Weronika Nowakowska and I now probably. I tried to talk to Adam coach, but he will not listen to reason.
He sends a good coach. Someone tell & agrave; Adam has won many medals, but in reality & agrave; the credit for these successes & egrave; everything about Nadia Belova who forged and prepared there in previous years. About & egrave; It came after he collected the fruits of what sown before.
The only one that has always worked with Kolodziejczyk & egrave; Monika Hojnisz. But you & egrave; an exception. What other athletes & egrave; He failed to lead to high level Adam? ".
THE HARD RESPONSE WASKIEWICZParole those uttered harsh dall''ormai thirty-three that are obviously not fallen on deaf ears.
A reply to memorize options is not serious; was none of the parties concerned by the allegations dell''atleta, bens & igrave; Zbigniew Waskiewicz, president of the Polish Football Federation from 2006 to 2014, he struck back in un''intervista River published by biathlon.pl portal.
One wonders why & eacute; Waskiewicz was to replicate instead & eacute; Kolodziejczyk or Gerasimuk. It also does not & egrave; clear whether his words are personally or whether it is a kind of federal response that follows a principle similar to the proverbial "talking to daughter-in order that & eacute; mother-in-law intends."
However, the 'former head of the Polish federation is not & egrave; He went for the thin. Indeed, if Guzik-Palka shot to the 'eye level, Waskiewicz replied with' artillery.
"I'm glad I said goodbye to the women's team. These toxic people do not appreciate the enormous efforts made for them. They have big problems with their egos and poison the lives of those around him. This is done for many years. I was hoping that maturing and marrying some problems disappear, but I see that instead worsened. the 'interview Palka & egrave; full of lies, delusions and grotesque accusations.
For a long time in the women's team c '' & egrave; It was a war. Krystyna Palka and Weronika Nowakowska conducted a sort of internal warfare.
When I read that Agnieszka Cyl you & egrave; withdrawn because of Kolodziejczyk, I wonder why & eacute; Guzik the Lady does not say that she and Nowakowska, along with other athletes, they did the war. The withdrawal of Paulina Bobak? Due to a number of idiotic behavior. He has had disagreements with Kolodziejczyk? True, but they are at the Idea that the fault is mainly dell''atleta.
C '' & egrave; It was a period in which no girl wanted to stay in the room with the other. They were always dissatisfied with everything, they complained of anything. You knew how futile arguments I heard. "If she does so & igrave ;, I do cos & agrave;". "Perch & eacute; this and not that." "Perch & eacute; my room is not & egrave; as big as that of ...". A drama. For more & ugrave; They had un''assoluta disrespect to those who worked night and day in order that & eacute; the women's team did not miss anything. Monika Hojnisz & egrave; was the 'only to stay out of this. He thought about s & eacute; same, you & egrave; He trained hard and avoided any company.
I see that now & egrave; changed little. The latest complaints of Guzik-Palka are pu **** ate! She & egrave; It was one of the first to demand that Belova was removed, and now says that the merit of the successes & egrave; all its own? Above & egrave; Interestingly, before criticizing the methods of Kolodziejczyk, saying that she and others do not want more & ugrave; work with him, to memorize options then complain because & eacute; coaches spend all the time with Dominika Bielecka and not with the rest of the team. I think a schizophrenic reasoning.
For more & ugrave; the 'attack launched Bielecka & egrave; the demonstration that this girl will have & agrave; a difficult future in the team. The pi & ugrave athletes; expert are afraid to compete with the most & ugrave; giovani.Ho read that Palka you & egrave; also complained of the lack of financial support from the federation. All''improvviso a kick, which costs a few hundred Euros, & egrave; became a drama? Only this season she earned 43,000 Euros in prize money, let alone in his entire career. It could invest something of s & egrave; same of their own pockets.
In the last ten years, the federation budget & egrave; pi & ugrave; than halved, mainly because of the depreciation of the zloty against's Euro. Despite everything we have always done everything because & eacute; the athletes could have the best possible training conditions in terms of logistics, but now a small rejection become a national case.
I know that in other countries, the federation held a share of the prizes won by athletes, or a part of the prize money goes to the coaches. Poland does not happen n & eacute; the 'a, n & eacute; the 'else. For more & ugrave ;, whenever c''era an event with sponsors of the federation, it was a struggle trying to involve the athletes, because & eacute; always they had something better to do.
From 2013 onwards three different athletes have gone to medal at the World Championships! In light of these results if someone criticizes the 'coach talk nonsense. Kolodziejczyk potr & agrave; not be perfect, but believe me, & egrave; a saint for putting up with all this controversy for years, without bursting.
They say he has a bad temper, but in sports success does not belong to the opportunists or weak. Occasionally you have to be assertive, also it takes place in Norway and France. His & egrave; a fanatic of work, and & egrave; paid handsomely to make the most of the athletes, not wanting to get well. During his tenure the Polish biathlon achieved unprecedented results.
Palka, Nowakowska and Gwzidon do not want more & ugrave; working with him? Then the solution & egrave; simple, it gives them freedom & agrave; absolute as in the past with Tomasz Sikora, who organized solo travel, a reservation on the hotel, he chose his coaches and paid them from his own pocket. Currently Gwizdon & egrave; gi & agrave; in the same situation, while Palka Nowakowska and would like to do what they want to memorize options to the federation expenses. This is not & egrave; acceptable".
So the climate & egrave; fiery and exasperated. You will see & agrave; as evolver & agrave; the story in the coming weeks.
